Illusion: The Art and Craft of Special Effects for Still Photographers

by Paul Fuqua

Publisher's Description

This book is about the techniques photographers use to alter reality--to make less realistic pictures of real things and to make completely realistic pictures of impossible things. The book itself is a toolbox, containing a collection of those special effects techniques that are the most helpful to the working professional and the serious amateur. The effects are divided into four groups: physical, in-camera, optical, and laboratory effects, thirty techniques in all. An important book for any still-life photographer or anyone who loves to understand the tricks of the trade.
